Geeetech 3‑Pack 3D Printer Glue Sticks, 36g, Enhanced First Layer Adhesion

I am setting up manufacturing of small-run products using a room full of QIDI MAX3 modelers, so I have done a lot of testing to find the best supplies and accessories. I tested pretty much all of the available glue sticks, and I think this product (GEEETECH JT16) is much better than the other available options for several reasons: 1 - Excellent adhesion. If you apply the product as directed (apply a light coat using raster movement full coverage, not circles or random), and then allow just a few minutes for it to partially dry, then the adhesion is almost always perfect, even for very small parts with very small area contact bases. 2 - Upon removal, the parts release well from textured PEI-coated steel base sheet (I did not test other base sheets, but these are quite common, come with QIDI modelers as standard, and perform very well). 3 - No visible residue ends up sticking to the bottom of the part once it has been removed from the PEI sheet. 4 - Multiple uses - in many cases, I find that the adhesive works for two or three print runs between re-applications. This is especially true for parts with large base plate contact areas. Adhesion is reduced every time the coating is reused, so you just need to pay attention to the adhesion force at removal, and only re-apply as necessary. 5 - It goes on clear with very little build-up after many uses. Most other adhesives that are used for 3D modelers are essentially just variations on generic grammar school glue sticks. They are opaque white, very difficult to clean off (I have not yet found a good solvent), and tend to build up clumps on the textured PEI surface. But this product (JT16) goes on clear and is easy to control during application to prevent clumping, and does not tend to build up residual clumps after many applications. It is very nearly like applying the adhesive to a freshly cleaned PEI plate (if that is even possible), even after dozens of previous applications. 6 - The viscosity of the adhesive is less than typical glue stick adhesives, so it is easier to apply in thin uniform coats. 7 - It has a not unpleasant fruity bouquet (the "smell", for non-wine drinkers), with mild nutty and subtle chlorinated-solvent overtones (sort of kidding). I'm not sure why they added this aroma, but it is not bad and contributes to the multi-sensory experience of being a maker-geek, so I kind of like it.

This is an excellent PVP glue stick for 3D printing. I tried Elmer’s glue stick before, but I didn’t like it for a few reasons. It’s too thick, so I had to apply a lot of it, and as a result it stuck too firmly to the bed and became very hard to remove with water. It only worked well for PETG. The Geeetech 3D Printer Glue Stick has a much lower viscosity, making it much easier to apply. You only need a small amount, so it lasts much longer and saves money in the long run. It provides great bed adhesion while still being very easy to clean after printing. In my opinion, it combines the best features of Elmer’s glue stick and the PVP glue stick that came with my Elegoo printer. I highly recommend it — it sticks well, lasts longer, and saves you money!

I highly recommend this glue! It works perfectly with textured print beds, you don’t need to use a lot of it to the right adhesion and it has a pleasant smell. If you clean your print beds with dish soap and water, the glue comes off pretty easily. I think I’ve found my official glue for my print projects!

Since using this glue with 65 degree bed all my prints have stuck and are still easy to remove from plate. I'm using a bambu ps1.

These work great for 3d prints. Print yourself a scraper to remove prints when using this glue with parts that have large surface area contacting the plate. Sticks so well the entire plate pulled away from the magnetic base during a large print with a lot of warpage. Glue stood firm

This works fantastic for PLA, PETG, PLA-CF, and other filaments that require the bed to be 70C or less. It does smoke a lot when you print ASA at 100C. The adhesion is still great, but it smokes A LOT. Clean-up with soapy hot water is easy, and I have no complaints. This will be my permanent PLA+ stick from now on.

My son uses these Geeetech 3D printer glue sticks on his 3D printer build plates. We have tried all of the other brands of glue sticks, including the ones sold by the name brand 3D printer companies, and these are the only ones he will use. They have enough stick to keep large, intricate builds in place, but will still wash off of the plate after completion with warm, soapy water. The 3 pack is a great value. He 3D prints almost daily, and highly recommends these Geeetech 3D Printer Glue Stick 3 Pack.

Metallic PLA is a pain… I ruined so many projects with PLA spaghetti, but thanks to this glue I was able to finally finish the prints! Smear might look ugly but works like wonders

These glue sticks are a game changer for 3d printing! They leave a nice thin layer they won't affect the appearance of your print. Apply it once and you can do multiple prints before reapplying.

Bought for 3d printing works excellent keeps the print secured to plate

Works fantastic.

Great product. Holds models in place
